Su Miu broke into a cold sweat at the mountain of research projects piled up in Electrolux's laboratory. What the hell... was he even human?
What? You said he was a Lich? Never mind, then... Now all that remained was for Su Miu to master Spirit Forging, so they could put together a set of One-Word Magic Battle Armor to play with.
That kept him pretty busy over the next few days. Besides studying Soul Tools and cultivating, he also had to learn forging.
Then Jing Hongchen expressed an interest in buying thousand refinement metal. Su Miu supplied him with plenty of third-grade thousand refinement metal and received a large haul of Soul Tools in exchange.
These included a set of six Level 7 Soul Tool Milk Bottles, a Level 9 Soul Tool Shield, and plenty of metals and other materials. He had originally wanted to trade for some Level 9 Soul Cannon Shells, too.
But selling those would probably cost old Jing his head, so he only secretly sold Su Miu some Level 7 Soul Cannon Shells. They also signed an agreement prohibiting him from using Mingdetang's shells against the Sun Moon Empire.
That worked out perfectly. Su Miu had previously sent Di Tian to steal some Level 9 Soul Cannon Shells from the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, but he had been reluctant to use them. Their blast radius was simply too large-everything within a five-kilometer diameter would be devastated.
The Level 7 Soul Cannon Shells were more manageable, with a lethal blast zone eight hundred meters across, just right for advanced-stage warrior-level Demon Beasts below commander level.
With his new toys in hand and the Sun Moon Divine Needle already fully charged, he took the others out Demon Hunting again.
This time, their destination was the Qinling Mountains,
